First one, but shadows is fine its essentially same engine iirc.
No, the gameplay is somewhat different, new factions, a bit better balanced, leaders are now restricted to being wizards instead of melee killing machines that broke the first game balance so hard, etc. First game wins in terms of graphics and campaign, though
Not only this. In first game you move or you do ranged attacks. In second game you have "action points" just like age of wonders 3 (you move a little and you do 2 ranged or melee attacks, you move more and just one....).
Second game has different skill values (one has 1-10 for all except hitpoints)
Production time in second one is gold based while first game is tier based. Reason why musketeer is really double worthless. If you mod second game and make a ZERO gold units you can train how many you want....even filling the map with that unit in a single turn (that means you can't do free units in 2) while in 1 you can put free units without problems.
Second game has elemental weakness that first game lacks, that sucks I hope they will release source code to fix it since some units have "weak to X" in their lore but no gameplay wise!
